Civil liberties, including the right to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and a free press, are essential to a democratic society. SEHRO actively defends these freedoms, ensuring that all Somalis can express themselves without fear of persecution. We also provide support to human rights defenders, journalists, and activists who face threats for their work.
Key Actions:
- Legal Defense for Activists: We provide legal aid to activists and journalists who are targeted for exercising their right to free speech.
- Press Freedom Advocacy: SEHRO collaborates with media organizations to promote a free and independent press that can hold leaders accountable.
- Public Awareness Campaigns: Through media and grassroots outreach, we educate the public about their civil rights and how to protect them.
